Elementary students have access to three different shaded playgrounds, separated by age group, each including age-appropriate play equipment and facilities. Dunecrest's multi-purpose hall also serves as a gym for Elementary students. Middle School and High School students have dedicated playgrounds as well as a 1500 square meter purpose-built gymnasium for indoor games. The campus also includes a shaded swimming pool, and a regulation-sized soccer field, encircled by a professionally laid running track.

Dunecrest utilizes the response to intervention (RTI) approach to support students with special educational needs. The school uses the tiered approach to provide interventions for those students that need additional support through a co-teaching model. Diagnostic testing during the admissions process identifies the needs of individual students entering the school and if necessary, a support plan is developed for them ready for their first day of classes. Dunecrest ensures that learning environments and teaching strategies are modified to be inclusive of all children and that all children are included as a part of the community and feel that they belong.
